 Can you find that out via TCP/IP, or not ?

Nahhh, I'll start out with a script we have that lets me send a command to
all, what, nearly 200 machines we administer. I figure the command will be
something like rpm -qa | grep slash | grep 64, though I may have to look
at the format flag for rpm to force it to give the architecture.

 If you have different users needing these things on the same machine you
 must at least have run into situations where someone needs one version
 of a CPAN module or a new php/python/mysql version when at the same time
 someone else is running something that won't work with it.

 You might have run into the CPAN issue if you installed something like
 RT in the Centos 4 era.

 Actually, my manager just laid something on me this morning: the new

'ssh host uname -i' - but that might not be enough.  What is supposed to 
happen if you have a 64 bit machine but run a 32 bit browser?  It 
doesn't look like their yum setup autodetects but it should at least 
work for the 32 bit side.
